Circle Weavings: 3rd Grade

Hey gang!! I know I post circle weavings every year...but I never get tired of them! Plus...this year I feel they "LOOK" very different. We studied African art second nine weeks...patterns/colors/meaning/traditions. Their weavings were influenced by that study.

Each class had a mandatory color of their choosing (from a list of traditional African colors) & black. They were then allowed to select 3 other colors. I was not concerned with a set pattern to their yarn colors...just that they would use the same colors over and over. The background was later colored using the colors(or as close as they could find) that they used in yarn I feel this year the background were so much more dynamic!
